I've been going here since childhood, always beautiful and clean . A true gem in southern Illinois.

Absolutely fantastic campground. Facilities are great tons of room for activities and really cool stuff just a short drive away. There was literally only one campsite taken up from each loop laborday weekend. The double sites are huge! If you tend to be a tiny bit loud/party when you go camping this is the spot. Highly recommend kinkaid spillway as an activity. Beautiful waterfalls and swimming area about 15 min away. No potable water so be prepared and dumpster at front, so no reason to leave any trash behind.

Are the trails open this weekend even with deer season?

Thank you. I didn't know if the rangers closed them or if it was up to each person to choose. I will respect the hunters and stay off the trails.

My best guesses: deferred maintenance costs were too high, or the need to monitor safety in the water was too great (either for pathogens or to cover liability of supervision).
